Elite Deep Dives are a Traumatic Experience (Deep Rock Galactic)

hey stop looking in the description and watch

[@tophatman2272]

fun fact edd difficulty increases per stage going from haz 4.5 to haz 5 and finally haz 5.5 the hardest vanilla difficulty

[@lapisfluff]

i feel like that explains why the second mission was so terrible for us

[@Webly101]

Normal deep dives are the same but I believe go from 3.5-4.5(?)

[@tophatman2272]

@Webly101 they go has 3, 3.5, 3.5

Couple of pointers. The fatboy round barely scratching the bulk is because bigger enemies have resistance to explosive damage. Point extraction is also the only mission type that scales with time, with bug spawns getting more frequent as the mission goes on. 8:49, both of you saying you're going to die? Gunner's shield absolutely shine in these moments, giving you the space to breathe, think about where to go and what to do, etc. Gunner shields are one of the most powerful tools in the game. Panic moments are a great time to just drop a shield and slow down for a sec. 20:17 engie nuking a shield is *usually* ok, gunner shield gives shield recharge that outpaces the nuke's damage so it never does health damage

DRG trauma. To some, it's caused by a certain bug they have a specific disdain for, to others it's the mission type. To me, it's going into the drop pod, cause I know going below haz 5 doesn't exist to my friends. Still the most fun trauma I've endured in a game, for a while. Been a lovely time watching your experience with stuff that is a typical occurance for me in this game. Hope you and your amigo can push through the agony and pull out a w. I'm rooting for ya'll. Rock and stone

I have only completed one edd and it was so traumatizing that I only dare to do the normal ones If you don't have a team of 4 it is almost impossible to achieve it

[@Ren_Zekta]

Looks like you were really needed a driller to slow big fat enemies down

[@henrytj8607]

My first EDD was a nightmare. If anyone remember the sand map’s first stage; where you get NO SHIELDS and it’s a caretaker mission, has to be the hardest mission period…

[@lapisfluff]

that actually sounds impossible 😭

[@sandhanditizer8839]

Remember! Enemy projectiles speed scale with difficulty. The bullets literally get faster!

[@olgierdoesplay]

i used to afraid to take haz 5 mission or even elite deep dive and now after hundreds level away i do that haz 5 shit on every mission lol. goodluck fellow green beards u'll get used to it DONT FORGET TO BRING IRON WILL, U NEED IT!!!! also dash for escaping some inconvinience situation. as for the passive perks; born ready, resupplier and thorns are most recommended imo

[@SquallNN]

The last mission on this Deep Dive was retrieving one Data Rack or what it's called. Hack two power stations and then the complete boss fight on Hazard 5.5 with Elite Threat as a bonus. Never seen the boss fight in Deep Dive before and couldn't make it either. Wasn't worth the retry just for a cosmetic overclock either tbh

[@lapisfluff]

i now realize that we were never gonna beat this week's elite deep dive

[@SquallNN]

Deep Dive Elite is Haz 4.5, 5 and 5.5

[@Max-92]

If only i have friends

[@danielfletcher706]

i'm 10 minutes in and i don't see a single shield drop you gotta up the gunner game dude

[@lapisfluff]

i know i do i made a note of that lol im just bad at the game and keep forgetting

[@koransumant6270]

Brother I'm 8 minutes in. Are you cutting your shield drops from the footage or what 😆

[@wrydfell3932]

You're probably noticing that there's a reason most players take iron will with them

[@KimeGaeming]

i'm sorry but that is a skill issue and a half, me and my friend arn't that good at DRG at all and we have no problem
